Now that Nicky can walk, it is IMPOSSIBLE to keep him in one place. He is into everything, everywhere, always. The worst part is the climbing because I worry about him being safe. But even though he sometimes falls, most of the time he does it like a champ.

Just for kicks, I documented one day of his movements.

In the morning at the desk:

In the afternoon at the desk:

On the toy garage:

On the storage containers:

On the guest bed:

On the ottoman:

On the kitchen table:

On the kitchen table with a hat:

On the kitchen table taking a rest:

And, this is my favorite. He climbed onto the couch and cuddled up to watch Calvin play a video game. A rare moment of stillness:

Just one day of his movements. Can you see why it's completely exhausting trying to keep up with him?

Autumn was insistent that she get a new haircut before school started. She wanted to go short. I begged her not to because her hair has been so cute lately. She insisted, so I gave in and scheduled the appointment.

Here she was before:

After:

Autumn is thrilled with how it turned out. I'm a little sad, but she's adorable no matter what. To celebrate her new look, we went out for mommy/daughter Italian Ice. It was delicious. I'd call the day a success!
